Heading abroad for higher studies is indeed a matter of quality education, better placements and opportunities to excel, as per a generalized view. The counter idea comes up with the name of top universities in India where even foreign students come to avail higher education degrees including Ph.D. Then what basic cause makes students go abroad and not choose any of the Indian universities for the same purposes? Well, to the question the first thing comes up as Infrastructure. Infrastructure not only means the material but the mind as well, not only the system but the people in the system.

The failure
in system directly implies to the failure of the people's
capabilities and will. Take an Example of VYAPM Scam- PMT paper leak
case as well as AIPMT paper leak case. A student aspiring to become a
doctor would certainly have lagged behind due to the failure or zero
authenticity of the functionality and not due to lack of preparation
or luck in most cases.

Focus

So, the
trust deficit is another thing interlinked with the system failure
that directly suggests the low management or availability of the
infrastructures. Next thing that comes under infrastructure is
availability of seats in a particular institution, that again suggest
to the Donation culture especially in medical colleges. A person
capable of giving donation can definitely avail a seat but the value
of abilities and merit falls.

Next comes
the ratings given to the Indian degrees in India and abroad- this
implies to mindset of a person that catches the " FOREIGN
RETURN" word as a preferred eligibility for a certain job. This
in one way degrades the acceptability of Indian Degrees for
Placements.

Lets us take a look at Placement opportunities and
income. Engineer from a local college will seldom be preferred over
an IITan while an IITan will seldom prefer a job in India! this is a
chain of degrading acceptability of Indian degree by one and Indian
job opportunity by the other for low income.

Now
comes the Fake education certificates. All the metro cities
especially Delhi NCR are full of such centers that guarantee a fake
degree that is completely Original! again it suggests of
System-people that have their ties with these centers. MBA for
40000rs, MCA for 35000, one can get Ph.D in one or two lacks and need
not make a thesis. Alarming? no alluring, for the people who seek
shortcuts! now on the contrary to all this even if a foreign degree
is fake it will be called a foreign degree only and would hold
equally higher acceptability in placements and opportunities in terms
of education value.

Solution to this lies within the change in
education system that inculcates research aptitude, implementation of
strict laws against fake degree holders and promotion to Indian
universities and institutions to be valued that links to the mindset.
